Are you curious about how Bofrids platform manages to match the right tenant with the right accommodation? Join us behind the scenes and discover the secret behind our unique Housing Merit system. This is especially useful to understand as an expat navigating the Swedish rental market.
A Deep Dive into Bofrid's Matching Process
At Bofrid's platform, we strive to make the housing search as smooth and efficient as possible for both tenants and landlords in Sweden. The core of our service is a focus on connecting the right people with the right homes by highlighting the qualities that are important for a successful rental. But how does it actually work?
We take into account a number of different parameters, both from the tenant's profile and from the accommodation ad. For the tenant, it's about preferences regarding location, size, rent, amenities, and other preferences. For the landlord, it's about specifying the property's characteristics, preferences regarding the tenant's profile (e.g., non-smoker, no pets), and other important criteria.
By weighing these factors together, we create a good match between tenant and accommodation. The better the match, the greater the probability of a successful outcome. This makes finding accommodation in Sweden more efficient for everyone.
Understanding Location Preferences in Sweden
One key aspect of the matching process is location. Understanding the nuances of different neighborhoods in Swedish cities is crucial. For example, families might prioritize areas with good schools and parks, while young professionals might prefer locations closer to the city center with vibrant nightlife. Bofrid helps tenants explore these options and find properties that align with their lifestyle preferences.
Bostadsmerit: Your Trump Card in the Swedish Housing Hunt
Bofrid has developed a unique system called Bostadsmerit. This system gives tenants the opportunity to strengthen their profile and increase their chances of being selected by landlords.
The Housing Merit is based on several factors, including:

- References: Positive references from previous landlords are invaluable.
- Payment history: A flawless payment history shows that you are a reliable tenant.
- Engagement: Actively searching and showing interest in housing signals that you are serious in your search.
